Green concrete is capable for sustainable development and is characterized by the application of industrial wastes to reduce the consumption of natural resources energy and pollution of the environment. The Marble sludge powder can be used as filler and helps to reduce the total voids content in concrete. Natural sand in many parts of the country is not graded properly and has excessive silt, on the other hand Quarry rock dust does not contain silt or organic impurities and can be produced to meet the desired gradation and fineness as per the requirement. Consequently, this contributes to improve the strength of the concrete. Through reaction with the concrete admixture, Marble sludge powder and quarry rock dust improved the pozzolanic reaction, micro-aggregate filling, and concrete durability. This paper presents the feasibility of the usage of Quarry rock dust and Marble sludge powder as hundred percent substitutes for natural sand in concrete. An attempt has been made in Durability studies on Green Concrete compared with the Natural sand concrete. It is found that the compressive and durability studies of concrete made of Quarry rock dust are nearly 14% more than the conventional concrete. Application of Green Concrete is an effective way to reduce environment pollution and improve the durability of concrete under severe conditions.
